SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President 

Obama issued Executive Order 13563, 

‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory 

Review,’’ in January 2011, directing all 

federal agencies to review current 

regulations to identify ways to 

streamline or eliminate unnecessary, 

obsolete, or burdensome regulations. 

Among other things, Executive Order 

13563 instructed agencies to ‘‘consider 

costs and reduce burdens for American 

businesses and consumers when 

developing rules; expand opportunities 

for public participation and public 

comment; simplify rules; promote 

freedom of choice; and ensure that 

regulations are driven by real science.’’ 

On May 10, 2012, the President issued 

a second Executive Order on 

retrospective review (Executive Order 

13610, ‘‘Identifying and Reducing 

Regulatory Burdens’’), which directs 

agencies ‘‘to promote public 

participation in retrospective review, to 

modernize our regulatory system, and to 

institutionalize regular assessment of 

significant regulations.’’ This Executive 

Order calls for agencies to invite public 

suggestions about regulations in need of 

retrospective review and appropriate 

modifications to those regulations; to 

prioritize those reforms that promise 

significant quantifiable savings to the 

American public; and to regularly report 

to the public on progress and timelines. 

In response to Executive Order 13563, 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) developed and sought 

comment on its Preliminary Plan for 

Retrospective Review of Existing 

Regulations, which identified a 

preliminary list of regulations that 

would be appropriate for review. See 76 

FR 32330 (June 6, 2011). HHS has made 

significant progress on its retrospective 

review activities in the ensuing two 

years. To date, HHS has published 26 

proposed rules and 29 final rules related 

to retrospective review, in addition to 

completing substantive review of 

initiatives where agencies ultimately 

decided not to make regulatory changes. 

More information on HHS’s 

retrospective review activities is 

available at http://www.HHS.gov/ 

RetrospectiveReview. 

In addition, the Department has 

developed a Public Participation Task 

Force to make Department-wide 

recommendations for how to increase 

public participation in the regulatory 

process. Through the leadership of this 

task force, the Department has 

developed a centralized Web page to 

find information on regulations 

published by HHS agencies (http:// 

www.HHS.gov/Regulations), established 

a retrospective review comment form for 

the public to submit suggestions, and 

encouraged each HHS agency to develop 

a public participation plan tailored to 

the needs of its programmatic mission 

and interested stakeholder groups. 

HHS now seeks suggestions from the 

public regarding new ideas for our next 

phase of retrospective review. We 

welcome your suggestions regarding 

rules, or types of rules, that the 

Department should consider reviewing 

to: 

D Promote economic growth, 

innovation, competitiveness, and job 

creation; 

D Reduce regulatory and 

administration burdens; 

D Achieve better results by modifying, 

streamlining, expanding, or eliminating 

rules when the costs or benefits are 

greater than originally anticipated; 

D Eliminate rules that are outdated, 

overtaken by new technology or 

information, or unnecessary for other 

reasons; or 

D Update rules to complement other 

federal agency rules or international 

standards where crosscutting 

collaboration can reduce administration 

or regulatory burdens.

activity at HHS, please visit http://

Proposed Project 

Taxi Driver Survey on Motor Vehicle 

Safety and Workplace Violence (or, Taxi 

Driver Survey)—New—National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Under the Public Law 91–596 

(Section 20[a][1]), the National Institute 

for Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) is tasked with conducting 

research relating to occupational safety 

and health. There are two types of workrelated events that are the 

overwhelming cause of injury and death 

among taxicab drivers: Transportationrelated events (almost exclusively 

highway-related) and workplace 

violence. 

In the U.S., motor vehicle crashes 

remain the leading cause of 

occupational fatalities and continue to 

be a leading cause of occupational 

nonfatal injuries. In 1998–2002, workers 

in the ‘‘Taxi Services’’ industry had the 

highest rate of nonfatal motor vehiclerelated injuries treated in emergency 

departments (86 per 10,000 FTEs). 

Moreover, 134 of the 423 (32%) 

fatalities 2003–2010 in the ‘‘Taxi and 

limousine services’’ industry resulted 

from a motor vehicle crash. 

Workers, who operate light motor 

vehicles as their primary job, including 

taxi drivers, are an inadequately studied 

population. There are few reports 

describing the population of workers 

driving light motor vehicles, their 

driving patterns, or their driving 

behaviors. The road safety component of 

the proposed study would provide new 

scientific knowledge of a well-defined 

occupation whose primary job is to 

operate a taxi cab at any time of day 

under numerous road and traffic 

conditions. Motor vehicle safety 

findings from this survey will be 

disseminated globally to municipal 

transportation regulators through an 

established network. 

Workplace violence continues to 

contribute substantially to the public 

health burden of both nonfatal and fatal 

injury outcomes. The proposed study 

would have a workplace violence 

section in the survey that would allow 

the evaluation of the major types of 

safety equipment on rates of workplace 

violence incidents and events at the 

individual level (taxicab drivers). 

The proposed study goals are to: (1) 

Describe the occurrence of motor 

vehicle events among taxicab drivers, 

(2) describe the risk factors of motor 

vehicle events among taxicab drivers, 

and (3) evaluate events of workplace 

violence among taxicab drivers. In order 

to accomplish the study goals, the 

corresponding study objectives are: (a) 

To enumerate the occurrence of motor 

vehicle crashes among taxicab drivers, 

(b) identify and describe the risk factors 

and protective factors associated with 

road safety among taxicab drivers, and 

(c) compare workplace violence events 

over a twenty-four-month period among 

taxicab drivers by type of safety 

equipment installed in taxicab. Findings 

from the study will be used to develop 

future prevention initiatives for 

reducing work-related motor vehicle 

crashes. These prevention initiatives, 

such as reducing driver fatigue through 

shift work limitations, may take the 

form of municipal ordinances 

promulgated by the city regulators or 

company-wide (such as Yellow Cab) 

directives designed to impact road 

safety by a city taxi fleet. Another use 

of data collected for this study would be 

to serve as a baseline measure for a 

future evaluation of safety initiatives 

implemented at the municipal level. 

Finally, contextual data on motor 

vehicle crashes is not completely 

captured by current surveillance 

methods. Such a survey would provide 

insight into the occurrence of crashes 

involving taxicabs. Furthermore, data on 

driving behaviors in the context of 

safety climate and role overload can 

only be obtained directly from taxicab 

drivers and will provide the perspective 

needed for designing effective safety 

interventions. 

CDC requests Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) approval to collect 

survey data using the Taxi Driver 

Survey, from taxicab drivers in two 

cities once during a 30 minute time 

period, and is seeking a two-year 

clearance. Because each taxicab driver 

will be waiting for taxicab inspection to 

be completed or waiting for a fare, the 

taxicab driver will be available. 

Responding to the survey is not
